Urakasumi Zen

This sake was one of the first Junmai Ginjo to be launched in Japan. It was introduced back in 1973. It is a very well-balanced sake that represents the typical, elegant style of a Junmai Ginjo from northern Japan. Zen is timeless and still delights today with its delicate aromas and mild taste. The aromas are reminiscent of yellow fruit and fresh herbs. The taste is very soft with a delicate acidity and gentle umami. Inspired by the Zen monk, it offers a culinary meditation. It pairs particularly well with sashimi and sushi or grilled poultry.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
